In 2023, the production of whole fresh inshore squids for human consumption in France stood at a certain level necessary for our analysis. From 2024 to 2028, the production is forecasted to increase gradually from 5.97 to 7.37 thousand metric tons. This represents consistent year-on-year growth ranging from approximately 5.9% to 5.4% annually.
Factors influencing this upward trend include enhanced marine management policies and consumer demand for sustainable seafood options. Yet, potential risks like environmental shifts and regulatory changes could impact future production.
Future trends to watch for:
- Developments in sustainable fishing practices.
- Growth in consumer demand for fresh seafood.
- Impact of climate change on inshore squid populations.
